Produced in collaboration with Tattly, the original Brooklyn-based small business specializing in artist-made temporary tattoos! Tattly are safe and non-toxic, lasting on average 2-4 days. We suggest placing on oil-free areas where skin does not stretch and keep them clean! Watch the Application Video to become a pro.

Whether to preserve a positive sentiment for the future, or to ignore an unfortunate inevitability, there’s nothing more human than trying to bottle our emotions inside.

Artist Adam J. Kurtz’s Bottled Up Feelings (2019) work addresses this head-on, abandoning subtlety in favor of creating a safe space to acknowledge and honor our own emotions, as well as an awareness to respect the feelings of others nearby.

Self-contained work has a transformer on the back and a standard power cord for simple installation. Red neon text flashes at an adjustable speed. Produced by the art neon experts at Lite Brite Neon, this museum-quality piece is designed to last.
